I got my Lie-Nielsen spokeshave today,, what a great tool, comes ready to go out of the box. I’ve built lots of furniture with curves and spent forever sanding. The spokeshave makes quick work of cleaning bandsaw cuts,, kicking myself for not getting one 5 years ago
These older vids with Deneb calmly demonstrating hand tool prep/work on a beautiful LN bench with either the Spring/Summer or cozier Winter backdrops through the windows are priceless! AMSR at its finest beyond always getting me back out in my shop to work on the latest box or hickory bokkens with my LN tools. Gotta just love it!
Thanks for this excellent and useful video. It provides information on how to use those beautiful tools LN makes. This kind of informative video content is consistent with LN's high quality and great customer service. Deneb is a good presenter. He knows his business and speaks clearly. The video close-ups really help. All these elements combine to be a formidable sales tool as well as a repository for woodworking information. Well Done!
Top video, thanks. When you talk about using your finger to reference the bevel, it reminds me of me doing the same thing on an old Record blade and I saw some brown in the slurry. thinking I had hit some unnoticed rust I stopped only to find that I was so focused on keeping the bevel in contact with the stone I failed to notice that I had ground a flat on the corner of my finger and the brown was actually blood mixed with metal slurry. Thing is with the pressure I was applying I did not feel it until later. I said I was focused not smart.
Thanks a lot ... now my Spokeshave "works", I love it ... and btw ... this "one side heavier" is a nice feature - heavy cuts on one end and fine finish cuts on the other - needs a bit practice but is genious ;)
Thank you for doing this video. It helped me out a lot. I do have a question though. I am working with a very hardwood that is much like African Blackwood. The spokeshave is sometimes cutting but most of the time its skipping and making little skipping in cuts. Do I need to make the blade sharper or something? I am using an HNT Gordon spokeshave. It was used but still in good condition. I find that I have to press really hard to get it to cut and when I do the blade tends to slip. Any advice on how to keep it from slipping?

Such wonderful tools and these videos make all the difference in teaching us how to use these tools.

sankojin I have the same problem
Thank you so much
What is the liquid/lubrication in the bottle you use on the blocks please?
Very helpful. Thank so. I have.
Is there a L-N honing guide jaw set for the straight spoke shave blade(s)?
What was that about a saw to do the flat? The link is broken.
Dam your a good teacher.
Why do you drag it instead of pushing it?
Close your eyes and tell me Tom Hanks isn't narrating this video...
